These Coworking Spaces are Built for Melbourne Startups

The pandemic and the ascension of innovative ventures has permanently changed how we work. We are now seeing a growing demand for more flexible and mobile working options that promote community and collaboration, hence the rise of coworking spaces. A coworking space sees businesses, founders and entrepreneurs from diverse industries work under one roof. Not only does this foster cross industry learning and partnership, but it also combines the benefits of a large corporate firm, with all its’ amenities, resources, and services at a reduced price point. 

A report by the University of Sydney dubs coworking spaces as the “…spiritual home of successful startups…where new business models are incubated, nurtured, developed, and discovered by investors.” In fact, according to statistics compiled by Coworking Resources in 2020, startups, founders and independent business owners are driving the majority of the sector’s growth, accounting for 65% of occupants in newly opened coworking environments. Locations such as London are leading the way in terms of new coworking spaces, but cities like Melbourne are quickly catching onto the trend. The popularity of coworking spaces in Melbourne will only continue to rise, with nearly half of all coworking spaces in Australia located in Melbourne.
